BANGOR, Maine — A woman who served nearly six years in prison for killing her husband and cutting his body into 13 pieces was back in court Friday morning, charged with stealing two bottles of baby powder — a violation of her probation.
Vella Ruth Gogan, 65, of Skowhegan appeared in Penobscot County Superior Court and was charged with violating her probation on the manslaughter conviction by stealing two bottles of baby powder from the Hannaford in Dexter on Saturday, Aug. 22.
She was released from Penobscot County Jail about an hour after Justice William Anderson set bail at $5,000 unsecured on the new charge. Gogan will not have to put up bail unless she fails to appear in court.
This is the second time since Gogan’s release from prison three years ago that she has been charged with violating her probation by shoplifting. She was arrested in December 2008 for the theft of Croc shoes and two water bottles from Olympia Sports in Waterville.
A condition of her probation is that she not commit any new crimes.
